IT IS TIME FOR LOCAL 2'S PET PROJECT. WE HAVE SARA MCALLISTER HERE FROM THE HUMANE SOCIETY ALONG WITH LIZA. SHE SO SWEET. SHE'S ADORABLE! SHE'S A POODLE MIX AND ABOUT A YEAR OLD AND JUST AS CUTE AS CUTE CAN BE. I KNOW. HOW DID SHE COME INTO THE HUMANE SOCIETY? SHE WAS JUST AN OWNER SURRENDER. AND HER HAIR WAS A LITTLE BIT MATTED WHEN SHE CAME IN, WHICH IS WHY SHE'S SHAVED BUT IT WILL COME BACK NICE AND BEAUTIFUL AS BEFORE. SO NO WORRIES THERE. AND VERY SWEET LOVING DOG. YEAH. ABOUT A YEAR OLD AND VERY CHILL. SHE DEFINITELY HAS A REALLY SWEET DEMEANOR. SHE DOES. WE NEED TO FIND HER A HOME. A NICE LOVING HOME. BEFORE WE TALK MORE ABOUT LIZA, LET'S TALK ABOUT APRIL, BECAUSE IT'S NATIONAL HEARTWORM AWARENESS MONTH WHICH LIZA IS HART WORK NEGATIVE. SHE IS -- HEARTWORM NEGATIVE. SHE IS, EVEN THOUGH WE DO HAVE SOME PETS THAT THEIR OWNERS DIDN'T GIVE THEM THE PREVENTIVE MEDICINE AND THEY COME IN WITH HEARTWORM POSITIVE, SO IT'S SAD TO SEE THAT BECAUSE IT'S ENTIRELY PREVENTIBLE. ABSOLUTELY. WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PETS STAY HART WORM NEGATIVE? ONE THING TO BE AWARE OF IS THAT HEART WOMAN IS PASSED ON FROM -- HEART WOMAN -- WORM IS PASSED ON THROUGH MOSQUITOES. IT'S TRANSFERRED BY MOSQUITOES. SO IF YOU CAN KEEP YOUR ENVIRONMENT MOSQUITO-FREE. HERE IN HOUSTON WE HAVE MEETS 365 DAYS A YEAR -- MOSQUITOES THREE 65 CASE A YEAR. EXACTLY. THIS AFFECTS THE HEART AND PULMONARY ARTERIES? IT DOES. THE DISEASE DEBT GETS INTO THE HEART AND CAN BE FATEAL. IF THAT ANIMAL DOES NOT RECEIVE TREATMENT. AND TREATMENT CAN BE COSTLY, SO IT'S MUCH EASIER JUST TO GIVE THE HEARTWORM PILL EACH MONTH. THAT IS ONCE A MONTH AND SOMETHING WE CAN GET FROM OUR VETERINARIANS OR FROM THE HUMANE SOCIETY. JUST PUT A DATE ON THERE AND KNOW WHEN YOU GIVE IT TO THEM AND THEY'RE SAFE. ABSOLUTELY. ALL RIGHT. THAT IS SO AWESOME. OKAY. SO LET'S TALK MORE ABOUT LIZA, BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY IS INTERESTED IN TAKING LIZA HOME TODAY, HOW QUICKLY IS THIS ADOPTION PROCESS? IT DOES NOT TAKE VERY LONG AT ALL. YOU COME IN AND IT'S JUST A TWO-DAY PROCESS. YOU FILL OUT SOME PAPERWORK. IF YOU HAVE OTHER DOGS WE MAY TAKE YOUR VET INFORMATION AND THEY JUST LIKE TO DO A BACKGROUND CHECK BEFORE WE TRANSFER THE DOG OVER TO YOU. BUT THEY MAY CALL THE VET AND SEE IF YOU'VE TAKEN CARE OF YOUR OWN PETS BEFORE AND ALL OF THAT. LIZA, YOU'RE DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB, SWEET GIRL. SHE IS. SHE'S ADORABLE. I LOVE IN PUPPY. WE KNOW THAT WE'VE TEASED YOU ON THIS ONE. HOUSTON HUMANE SOCIETY IS OPEN TODAY. 11:00 TO 5:30. SOMETIMES THERE'S A LINE OUT THERE, PEOPLE! FOR THE DOGS THAT WE FEATURE. ALL RIGHT. TO SEE THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS IN NEED, FROM DOZENS OF HOUSTON-AREA SHELTERS, CHECK OUT OUR ADOPT-A-PET SECTION ON CLICK2HOUSTON.COM. GOOD LUCK, LIZA. AND KEEP US UPDATED.
